The Boston Red Sox haver released minor leaguer and 2017 third-round pick Brett Netzer following a series of tweets, according to multiple reports.
The NY Post reports that Netzer, 25, targeted Red Sox executive Chaim Bloom.
“[Chaim] bloom is a hypocrite and an embarrassment to any torah-following jew,” Netzer wrote.
Netzer attacked Bloom for supporting Black Lives Matter and LGBT initiatives in another tweet. He also wrote that black people should “go back to their roots and start to re-establish their true black culture.”
He attacked the LGBTQ community and black Americans, saying in one tweet: “i am a racist. i do sometimes make assumptions based on another persons [sic] race/ethnicity/culture. glad that is out of the way.”

He is an embarrassment to any Torah Jew he supports lbgtq
Leaving out the Mr. Bloom angle, which could be lashon hara, much of the rest of what he said seems right.
But I would have changed the “racist” statement to leave out “I am racist”, which is not true.
Everyone “makes assumptions” based on lots of things. For example, every leftist assumes that anyone who questions the integrity of the 2020 elections is automatically anti-democratic, etc.
He’s right!
Sounds like he is an embarrassment if he indeed supports these groups in any way shape or form
” is a shomer Shabbos Jewish day school graduate.”
Please elaborate:
Did he attend a frum day school but isnt himself currently frum?
OR is he currently frum and the day school part is entirely irrelevant toward making that point?
What IS our Torah’s perspective, daat Torah? Is someone who supports LGBT an embarrassment to any torah-following jew OR NOT an embarrassment to any torah-following jew?
What IS our Torah’s perspective, daat Torah?
Should WE support LGBT or NOT support LGBT?
I grew up out of town in a community with 20 frum families. These issues and stories confuse me and I simply don’t know how Im supposed to conduct myself. Pls help, I read this site and its comments to learn everything I missed not growing up in a frum community. Thanks.
I’d suggest you find an Orthodox rabbi who you trust to ask your legitimate questions
The Torah expressly prohibits these relationships, some with punishment by stoning. Hence, it should be obvious that they be condemned by mankind.
So, Netzer was correct!
Inarticulate but Bloom IS an embarrassment.
he went to solomon shecter, not exactly frum
